Abstract:Nine monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to Clostridium difficile toxin A were produced. The isotype of one mAb (37B5) was IgG2b, kappa, and that of the other eight mAbs was IgM, kappa. Immunoblot analysis after non-denatured PAGE showed that with the exception of one mAb (112G6) all mAbs gave a positive reaction with the 540 kDa band of toxin A. Immunoblot analysis showed that four mAbs (2E15, 3B4, 37B5 and 49C4) gave a positive reaction with the 240 kDa major band of toxin A. In neutralisation tests with these mAbs for enterotoxicity, mouse lethality, haemagglutination activity and cytotoxicity, 37B5 neutralised enterotoxicity in a rabbit ileal loop response test but did not neutralise any other biological activities. None of the other eight mAbs showed any neutralising activities at all.
